[Portfolio] madN0RMan, Warren Speak, Character Rigger (maya), Animator
Hey all,
I just did some work for an American company and this is my new portfolio, hopefully I can get this looking good and get a full time job! This is the first edit and features just the character that I rigged for this project, there are other characters that I think that I need to add in to show some variety - but I'm not sure what to cut out. Any advice you guys can give me, including some examples of successful rigging showreels would be a great help

not exactly the best, but really eye catching, and many leads would stop and probably take a few looks through a piece like this: (you may want to mute before playing)

also, the quicktime videos on your site wont allow me to pause, replay, or save, wich is what you want employers to do.
And I dont understand why you have all of the character sheets on your homepage, Are you applying as a generalist?
your three videos are at the bottom of the page, and only two are relevent to rigging and animation.
also, this: http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=70183
But if you'd want more room to add more stuff I'd speed it up a bit. I'd also take out those bumpers separating each segment: arm rig, face rig, etc.
The animation at the beginning is great.
What to add to the reel I suggest that Pixar Lamp thing with the ball and the face rig of the Polycount dude and have simple animations for each of them.
